Inktober Day #9

[vale meadow]

More like I just drink a bit, then pour a bit more in

[green horizon]

Yeah now I’m just gonna pour some water out cuz wtf ypu dont need allat water

[vale meadow]

Wen ir done dutting them down, throw me some cool pll to follow

[green horizon]

I’ll throw one rn

Demizu Posuka

[vale meadow]

Time to google

[green horizon]

We’ve talked abt her work before so you’ve seen it

[vale meadow]

Oh yea

Promised neverland

I never did read the manga of that, I watched the anime fully tho

While I did hear the anime was garbage compared to the manga, what anime isn’t garbage compared to the source material

[green horizon]

S1 was received greatly, but everyone agreed they fumbled s2

I didn’t watch s2. I have also heard people saying the manga itself got worse though so who knows. Posuka’s colored illustrations are amazing though

[vale meadow]

Definitely

They look like dedicated wallpaper images or sum

[vale meadow]

I recently been watching youtube shorts recently

I usually construct better sentences than that, but anyway

This is probably the funniest one I have found so far

[vale meadow]

Well now I am at a point where I got a furry cideo talking about serving?

Its probably some deep furry fandom stuff, I can’t understand it

[vale meadow]

I am watching one of steve hustons videos, and he is basically talking about his art philosophy, why he continues to draw, and on one hand, it’s profoundly deep, but on the other hand, its very simple

Maybe one day I’ll be like that too, but for now all I wanna be able to do is draw anything I can imagine to a masterful level

[vale meadow]

@green horizon magma today?

Im currently not doing anything, but I also dont wanna work

I hate working on sundays and Saturdays

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/mex2j7fu72

Woke up from a 2.5h nap

[vale meadow]

This shiz was what I was talking abt a long long long time ago

Idk the name of it, I just call it the “yellow pasta with the meat in it”

[vale meadow]

https://youtu.be/nHWiPO9D1qY?si=3Xsg6YYEv_K4hLVQ

[vale meadow]

Dam, my whole world has fallen apart

[green horizon]

Damn thas crazy😭

[vale meadow]

Lets see wer this goes

[vale meadow]

Good news, they didnt want my kidneys

Its an actual game, its pretty decent as well

Bad news,

The gameplay is kinda repetitive, the bad kind, and after playing for like hour(s), I couldn’t really see the point of the game

[green horizon]

..oh- well I’m glad I don’t have to ban em at least

Hope their game gets better

[vale meadow]

So, the typical mmorpg

[static matrix]

Eyy @vale meadow, you just advanced to level 11!

[vale meadow]

They said it was a fairy game, which if your not versed in Chinese like I am, it basically means cultivators, immortals etc

And I do see some aspects of that, but at its core, its just a regular rpg with some added on features

I also dont like how there is literally no story

Every person you talk to says one sentence, literally, one sentence

[green horizon]

Are the characters not what gets people hooked? I could be wrong, but story/fleshed out character relationships seem pretty important

Ig that could be worked on though

[vale meadow]

This is like my second time playing a mmorpg

The first was yrs ago

So I really can’t offer any good criticism outside of what I think is good tbh

The story is what usually gets me the most excited in games tho

If u have a really fleshed out story and its actually apart of the game, then ill prob play it for a long time

There r already pll with millions of power though, it took me a day and a half to get 400k

Considering it took more time to get from lvl 180 to 190 then it took to grt from 1 to 150,

I can say they spent a looooooooot of money

Also, I just remembered, the game promoter person gave me nothing, thought I was ganna get free stuff or sum

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/R2NjU1DiZvk?si=7H-6zEHQActFqNsX

My top pick for today

I think the youtube short algorithm is getting to me cuz i wanna procrastinate more as I get more and more towards the end of my work

But some of dem shorts do be good

[vale meadow]

Ahh

Light has come, my eyes are opened. For my recovery of mind, body, and spirit is almost achieved.

I proclaim three days.

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/phoenix-fantastic-beasts-fantastic-beasts-crimes-of-grindelwald-firebird-gif-15290335

[vale meadow]

Remember this?

[green horizon]

Yeah i do actually

What would it look like now?

[vale meadow]

Well, it regressed, for two reasons, I haven’t been drawing at all for like the past few weeks, and the other reason is, when I first made it, I was a frog in a well, but now im a fish in the sea

I need to follow my own advice now

[vale meadow]

The small details are what separate a master from everyone else, I just noticed a huge mistake I was doing in all my head drawings

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/tanaka-kugayama-sasahara-appreciative-nodding-nod-gif-16774031

[vale meadow]

This was because some of the “rules” for the loomis method had gotten jumbled in my mind, and only now after going back and really looking it over did I notice

[green horizon]

What mistakes were you making?

[vale meadow]

The biggest is the jawline, now I always knew my jawline was fuuuu up, but I could never put my finger on why

I always thought I was doing it right

So I was confused as to why it looked so shiiii

But now I know

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-monkey-d-luffy-thinking-think-interesting-gif-20107311

Have you tried drawing a head while applying this new information?

Best to do so while it’s fresh

[vale meadow]

Idk if u remeber this, but this was one of my rlly old drawings bfor I even knew the loomis method

It looked like I was doing better just drawing from reference then

[vale meadow]

Yea, I def will

I wanna get sum drawing in today

[green horizon]

Idk what your sleep schedule is now, but we can also do magma today or tomorrow if you want

I have some stuff i wanna try out

[vale meadow]

I literally dont sleep anymore

[green horizon]

( )

I sleep from 6am to 1pm ish

But no more school so it’s ok

[vale meadow]

Speaking of sleep, a big ah windstorm? Or rainstorm? Whatever u call it was raging outside my window in the middle of the night, and I was literally out of it while it was going on, I remember saying to myself, “why does heaven need my acknowledgment”

Too many webnovels

[green horizon]

💀

[vale meadow]

Looking back on it now, I set an alarm for 8hrs and went to sleep like usual, when I was half up half sleep, I looked at my ipad

I was sleep for lik 3ish hours

So no wonder I was so out of it, I dont think I could even move my body, it was kinda like I was drunk

But I dont know how being drunk feels, so ur just ganna have to take my word for it

[vale meadow]

And yea, ping me anytime if u do magma

I feel like I do better there than traditional a lot of the time

Prob cuz i abuse the colors

[green horizon]

will do

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/7xra1JbZVu

[vale meadow]

I feel asleep like 10min bfor this ping

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/7xra1JbZVu

[vale meadow]

Rip, I had on focus while doing the last of my algebra work

So I didn’t get the notification, or i wud definitely have joined instead of giving myself a headache

I only have a few more assignments left bfor everything is complete tho

Should be done by the end of tmmrw, at most by the end of firday

[green horizon]

Thas what’s up

[vale meadow]

This guy, or well maybe girl, traveled throughout time and space tracking down my soul and eventually found me after I had threw them off once

It also seems that they had a nice chat with me before asking me to buy stuff for a cheap price, which is a good sales tactic, sadly they were dealing with a broke person

Their models look pretty good, not anything I would really buy though, if I had some extra cash, I would probably get a commission just cuz it would be cheap (presumably)

But well, I have referred them, my job is done

[green horizon]

You’re a man of your word

[vale meadow]

12 more assignments to go

Then im free

It felt like only three days ago I was 56 assignments behind

[vale meadow]

Finally

One more left

Oneeeeeeeeee emoroeoeosowlw
A
Q
A
Aa
Ass
Slalqppa

Tommorw im probably going to hop right into facial and neck anatomy

I been wanting to do deep facial anatomy, aka muscles, fat pads etc for a long long time

But I knew I aint have that kind of leisure time

Then im not going to be absolutely drained to the point were I cant draw, ima def be drawing a lot, lot more

I pulled this out from my inventory as well, I may try to combine it with

This to make some sort of realistic, anime kinda atyle

Im getting ahead of myself tho, I still got one more assignment left

[green horizon]

Finish strong

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/7xra1JbZVu

[vale meadow]

Done

Dinsihed

Wow

Im free

Im happy

I can smile again

https://tenor.com/view/light-yagami-death-note-anime-gif-18139397

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-laugh-gif-25449072

[vale meadow]

Alr, ima start everyday by doing these quick no think sketches, with no guidelines and a short amount of time, it forces me to just go in

[vale meadow]

And every five days ill pick one of these and do a full drawing of it

Im a genius

[vale meadow]

My outlook on art has maybe changed as well in the time I haven’t been drawing, usually I would feel like this is so trash that I wouldn’t even post it, or I would say I hit my big toe while drawing or sum

But now it just feels……fun

[green horizon]

Yeah man post even stuff you’re not super proud of. It’s fun

[vale meadow]

Some random drawing, ima go eat, relax a bit, then prepare for my anatomy drawing for today

[green horizon]

Magma after I get my hair braided? (I’ll be back around 8 or so)

I’m trying to get my brother to join a magma session so I’ll ask him too

[vale meadow]

Yea

[green horizon]

I’m playing smash ultimate instead of keeping my word.

My apologies in advance🗿

[vale meadow]

Np, cuz i was sleep at this time

[green horizon]

You down to draw now?

[vale meadow]

Yes

[green horizon]

🫡

https://magma.com/d/7xra1JbZVu

[vale meadow]

They are guilting me intomplaying a few games

Give me like 0 min then ill join back

[vale meadow]

Weeeeeeeeeeeell

That was more than 10min

I kinda forgot after I started playing

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DbF22rTyKS4?si=MD7YVFn3HyVZn3eV

This one, this one is…….using words to describe it would only serve to lower it, feel it with your heart

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxSNDT8d3gjXGV2JG3yNFasF5il3iNmSvh?si=UQraAkuqK5q6rHd0

First time I ever made a clip

I just really like the expressions tho

[green horizon]

Pikat 🐐

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/PLJqp5sU5wM?si=6-bADUwniIUx63iS

He pulled it out of his inventory

[vale meadow]

I like the fact that everytime I have thoughts about just completely quitting art it’s immediately shutdown, I dislike the fact that the only time that thought arises is when im trying to do portraits

[vale meadow]

I dont understand, its like the skill of drawing portraits is just locked from me, but eventually, either I break the lock with my head, or my skull gets crushed

[green horizon]

May be time to get some outside opinions. If you’re hitting a wall for this long

[vale meadow]

My art journey has actually been very uhh, I dont know how to describe it, I wouldn’t say lonely since that implies loneliness, but I guess the word would be alonesome

Like, up to this point, I have gotten critique like a handful of times

So u may be right

[green horizon]

Same here, and sometimes I think I may have improved faster if I asked for help

But the benefits (especially with observational skills and learning to properly self critique) make it worth going (mostly) alone for me

[vale meadow]

Yea, I would say my observation skill is one of my most advanced

I did get this app, called da vinci or sum, basically a tracing tool,

It was actually pretty cool, but what confused me was that, I actually was starting right, my proportions were right, guidelines set,

Yet I still couldn’t make anything good

[green horizon]

So it’s not the placement of the features

Perhaps the way you’re drawing them lacks form then?

[vale meadow]

Maybe, ill try a few more and throw them in the critique channel

Ill ping u wen im done if u want

[green horizon]

For sure🫡

[vale meadow]

The black makes it look worse, but I accidentally put it in, so I had to run with it

I also got pretty sloppy towards the end, I would say this is around 60-70% as good as I can do

I just realized the body looks like its squished or sum, but dats fine, the main focus was the face

[green horizon]

I’d like to see you reference, but this doesn’t look bad at all

And that’s not just a platitude to make you feel better

[vale meadow]

Maybe its just cuz I aspire to be the best of the best

I compare my work tompeople like jeff watts, who have literal decades on me, so maybe my judgement has been slightly crooked

Just realized I pinged at like 5 am

Thats a my bad

[green horizon]

Ping whenever. I only have notifications on inside the app, so I see them whenever I open it but not otherwise

[vale meadow]

So that means I can spam pi—

Alr

[green horizon]

I mean

Hypothetically

You could

[vale meadow]

Rc, I need yer help rq

Wait, no I dont

https://www.pinterest.com/rc__art/faces/

I was abt to ask for that, but then I remembered ur friended to me

Im also restarting the challenge, and making the structure more……..structured

I didn’t technically fail tho

I didn’t fail technically tho*

I need to study up on sentence structure again

[vale meadow]

I have realized,

Well, I actually knew for awhile, but using other drawings as a reference to draw is very easy, but using real life or photos from life to draw is harder in most cases

I believe this is because when taking another drawing as reference, everything is really laid out for you, the micro decisions you have to make, the etc etc, but when drawing from real life, your using your own knowledge base to do that

As Steve Huston said, art is a visual philosophy, when taking a reference of real life, I guess its like a human looking at the universe and thinking hard about what it means, its easy to just go along with that other guy said that sounds really good, but very hard to do it on your own

[vale meadow]

That feeling when your like, oh, nice, I think I saw sum like this bfor, then, hmm, this is pretty familiar, then, yep its the same one

[green horizon]

@vale meadow ay man what’s your drawin routine rn? I’m considering starting a daily thing to improve my lines and colors

[vale meadow]

I was preparing to start tmmrw, ima start drawing a 1:30 everyday, and I have also structured what ima be doing into weeks

So like, first week, head, in which I plan to go over the skull, facial features, facial muscles, and fats pads of the face etc

Then week after, doing ribcage, then after pelvis, then after arms, then after legs

Then ill do hands and feet together

Then ima go back around and go in the same order, but focus more on shading and form, and also the other details,

Such as hair for the head

Orrr, at least that is the plan so far

[vale meadow]

I may switch up this order thouh,

Though,

It feels like it makes more sense to do the arms after the ribcage, since they kinda go together,

I haven’t really ironed out the small details though, just a general idea

But I feel like thats good enough

[green horizon]

Mm I see

I structured the 100 day challenge similarly but allowed myself more time if I didn’t get something in the week or two i wrote down. It’s pretty effective

Guess I should figure out specific goals before i plan my dailies then

[green horizon]

You down for magma?

[vale meadow]

Yea

I would have been then too, but i was knocked out

[green horizon]

Ah them evening naps hit different

I’m still in magma if you’re ready. Just got done warming up.

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/200emtoc0j

[vale meadow]

I saw, but I didnt join last night

I was torn between that and reading a new webnovel I found

By time I wanted to stop, a few hours had already passed

[green horizon]

I’ll probablyyy do another today

Warming up right now

[vale meadow]

Dam,

Thats a long warm up

You planning to make the journey of humanity or sum

[green horizon]

Drawing with my irl friend rn

[vale meadow]

I was about to say “you have friends” but then I realized that would not actually convey my message clearly

[green horizon]

I have 2👍

[vale meadow]

Thats a lot

[green horizon]

I can give you the magma link if you want

I’m makin space rn

[vale meadow]

Im prob not ganna do magma tonight

I been constantly pushing forward the 100 day chall cuz

I keep sleeping at the wrong time and waking up past the time im suppose to start drawing

[green horizon]

Why not just start drawin when you wake up? As long as it’s for the same amount of time

[vale meadow]

Dats the thing, I cant push the time forward cuz then I would be drawing in the night, which

As u know, I used to do all the time

Buuuuut, I have left that life, I now prefer the light

Its much better

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/aceattorney-phoenix-wright-evidence-papers-gif-10033464

I see

[vale meadow]

Tmmrw tho, ill def have some stuff to show,

Ill put it in my blog here

[green horizon]

Lookin forward to it🫡

[green horizon]

@vale meadow did you start today?

[vale meadow]

The sheer amount of time I have spent thinking of a reply to this is a problem

But I do need to start, I haven’t today, but ill do it now

I been lazy ngl

[green horizon]

Perhaps partially cuz you’re setting your bar too high again

Lower goals are easier to make oneself do cuz it’s like “meh it’s only 30 mins (or wtv),” as opposed to “741 more days to go”

(That number is still absurd)

[vale meadow]

I could prob go for 2000 if I had some prep time

But anyway,

Wut have u been cookin up? I havent seen ur drawings in awhile

Wait, thats a lie, I saw it yesterday, the question is still there tho

[green horizon]

Mostly magma, but i threw in some stuff I haven’t posted

[green horizon]

^the one with the rock kirby was with my irl friend

[vale meadow]

Dam, I need to step up my game

Else you might just catch a glimpse of my skill level

[green horizon]

Been tryna figure out now colors work

I get mixed up as soon as more than 2 or 3 values are present. But yea drawing has been kinda fun lately

[vale meadow]

Yea, ill show what I been cooking up later,

I haven’t actually got much to show rn tho, im jus studying the anatomy currently

[green horizon]

That’s what’s up tho

[vale meadow]

These types of tutorials are the ones that help me the most

[vale meadow]

Finally did something I think is worth showing

Overall I like it, but I feel like I could have placed some stuff better

[vale meadow]

I now suddenly dont like it too much

Yea, now that I look back and compare it to the ref,

The whole face shape is wrong

Therefore not much can be right

Guess im going back in

I lowered the chin a bit, thats all ima do for this one tho, on to the next

[green horizon]

Pretty nice value, especially in the shadows

The face is just in a different angle

[vale meadow]

Ima jus go back to anime faces

They are way easier to draw and look better than what I can currently do realistically

I never wanted to pursue realism as my main drawing style anyway

I feel like somewhere along the road, it just became an obsession cuz my realistic faces wer az

But now when I wanna switch back to doing the stuff I did before, can’t do it anymore cuz its been so long

So instead of jus wasting time, I decided to pursue drawing realistic faces for awhile longer, at least till I can get it to a point wer I like it

[green horizon]

Mm i see

I feel like once you get those first few guidelines to better match your reference in terms of angles n proportion, you’ll be solid. It is a massive struggle to capture someone’s likeness because if how often we look at someone’s face and how crucial it is for identification

Especially traditionally cuz you can’t take entire parts n move/rotate them as you please (which I admittedly overuse)

[vale meadow]

After looking at a lot of sergents work,

His stuff is awfully simple, like, what I did today looks more complicated than it

But that simplicity in his art is hard to match

[green horizon]

Yeah ig that’s the mastery part

They do it so well it feels simple but effective

I bought a sketchbook today. Idk why. It was an impulse since it was $5> ig. I’ll dedicate it to anatomy

[vale meadow]

I feel like I need another sketchbook as well

Though like three of my sketchbooks arent even half full, I feel like they are all mixed up with stuff

I also already have like two sketchbooks dedicated to anatomy, but I want another one for when ima run through anatomy again,

Which will be very soon

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-approve-okay-ok-dragon-ball-z-gif-15533511

You’re a traditional artist though. Finish those sketchbooks. The paper isn’t precious.

[vale meadow]

Oh yea,

Uramichi san or however u spell it, I absolutely love it

I just finished ep 8

[green horizon]

It’s a really good watch. The voice cast is spectacular

[vale meadow]

I know some people can’t watch anime that dosent have characters who can split open the ground with a branch or sum,

But I love just watching anime in general, especially SOL anime with a unique premise like iramichi

[green horizon]

For sure

I’ve recently started getting even more into anime about

Not really niche interests but ig characters finding a hobby they like and just getting fully immersed in it

Welcome to the Ballroom, Dance Dance Danseur (not as good), Hajime no Ippo

My Dress-Up Darling (surprisingly enjoyed it), Taisou Samurai

[vale meadow]

Ippo is a classic

[vale meadow]

https://magma.com/d/ho4uh7qch4

[vale meadow]

Going to hop into magma now

[green horizon]

Wya

[vale meadow]

Didn’t notice u left till a while later

I got very absorbed into that pose, it was super difficult at first, even with reference, but as I fumbled around with it more and more, it got better and better, it was quite fun

Im not super happy with it just yet, but its way better than when I started

Ill leave it there for a bit and go do some exercises

[green horizon]

Jack-O pose

[vale meadow]

You knew the name?

I had to dig around references for like 30min before I found out the actual name

[green horizon]

Yeh. Guilty Gear fan

And I’m pretty sure there was an art trend surrounding that pose because of how crazy it is

[vale meadow]

Im bac

Prob ganna relax a little, feel like I made a major fix when I discovered the leg problem

So time to get sum reading in

[green horizon]

good work today

[vale meadow]

This is the kind of stuff I have to dumb down my brain to read peacefully

[vale meadow]

Oh yea, I remember u talkin abt writing

I can send the stories I made when I was an edgy twelve year old

They are all lik one chap tho

[vale meadow]

Tell me wen u wanna hop in magma today, for now ima be readin this new manga I found

It might be gold, or I might wanna bury it in a hole

[green horizon]

I woke up pretty late then went to the pool for a few hours

Down to draw in a few if you are

[vale meadow]

Yea

So far im lutting the finishing touches on the first stage of the lineart

The arms are what im on rn

[green horizon]

Oo ok. You’re really puttin work in

!w

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/812416795255898165/926222783795580938/ArtRoomW.png

[vale meadow]

I may do sum like this

Also, I just noticed, but this pose has a nice flow

Everything is really coming back to center

[green horizon]

Yeah you didn’t ask for critique, but the forearm is long in its current state

[vale meadow]

Just assume critque is always being asked for with me

[green horizon]

👍

[vale meadow]

I might as well hop back in magma now

[vale meadow]

https://magma.com/d/_u8t7xilhf

I would assume you already have the link since I jus took it from u

But there if u need it

[vale meadow]

Jus hmu wen u hop bac in magma, I kinda sold that one

Ima go draw some arms in the meantime

[vale meadow]

Ima hop bac in magma now

Feel like I can get the arm down

[vale meadow]

Im ganna hop in magma, ill lrob be there for awhile awhile since I plan to start drawing the suit now

[vale meadow]

What is this I spot here

[green horizon]

I had to cuz it looked fun to draw. I feel like I’ve tried to draw the pose before, but my construction wasn’t at its current level

I made it small to divert attention from it (not that yours has any trouble catching eyes)

[green horizon]

@vale meadow

You down to draw rn?

[vale meadow]

You have summoned thy

[green horizon]

Indeed

[vale meadow]

Definitely

[green horizon]

👍

[vale meadow]

My ipad is like on 70% this time as well

So no repeat of the last incident

[green horizon]

Excellent

I’m well rested and even made tea

[vale meadow]

Tea goes hard

Though I dont drink it much

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/ho4uh7qch4

Link drop if you need it

[vale meadow]

Soo, idrk why im up at this time, but

I was watchin this guy called linessensei, a new youtuber who is makin some pretty good beginner tutorials

And this was the result of me tryna make a five head high character

His tutorial was really good, but it was like 4am, I was eating, and I was doing it in the dark

Plus I haven’t created a five head high character in such a long time

But this definitely hit one of my weaknesses which I didn’t think about, ill start working on that

[green horizon]

@vale meadow down for magma?

[vale meadow]

I want to say definetly, but dats not the case this time, I jus cookoed sum pizza and ate, and now im in the state of “tired but not sleepy”

But ill prob hop in in like an hour or so

[green horizon]

Oh aight👍

[vale meadow]

Rc

Jus got done with a semi nap

You know that feeling when ur not sleep, but jus chilling, and 30min pass

And im up and rddy for magma

[green horizon]

🫡

[vale meadow]

U hopin in now?

[green horizon]

I had to have slept at least 16 of the last 24 hours. I’m havin a horrible time lmao

Yeah

[vale meadow]

I read the first part and thought it was funny, then I read the second part

Hopefully that sleep does u good tho

Ik it does for me

[green horizon]

Yeahhh I’ll be alright

Maybe I’ll finish Persona 4 and do all my chores tonight

👍

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/_u8t7xilhf

[vale meadow]

I got a really cool pose in mind after thinkin abt how I can incorporate for foreshortening into sumin

[vale meadow]

https://www.instagram.com/rice_wheat_doesart/

On one hand, I wish I could change my name, on the other hand, its funny every time I see it

[green horizon]

Whoops

https://magma.com/d/ypravd1emk

Still there if you’re down

[vale meadow]

Yea, im carrying a plat in brawl rn, let me play one las game with em

Den ill moin up

[vale meadow]

I would go find out myself, but how do u make a magma thing?

I wanna make a private one, to practice drawing nsfw art

I haven’t drawn anything nsfw in a long while

[green horizon]

Just homepage>new canvas

Then never share the link and nobody will ever have access to that board

I always choose high resolution landscape under the canvas presets

[vale meadow]

I c, i c

[green horizon]

Make sure to click the drop down thing tho cuz it picks a default canvas if you don’t

[vale meadow]

I c, ill prob make one later

[vale meadow]

U planning on doin magma today?

[green horizon]

Yeah but I’m running out of magma storage on two different accounts

So you might have to make the canvas

[vale meadow]

Magma needs storage?

[green horizon]

It has its own storage ig, but you have to pay once you hit a certain amount

N you know i use Magma a ton

[vale meadow]

Alr, ill make one rn

https://magma.com/d/bSBDdlpUrC

[vale meadow]

Made

[green horizon]

There

[green horizon]

I’m back if you still wanna draw

My mom went to get her eyebrows threaded (dont ask me how that works) n it took 45 mins for some reason

Drive to the pool to pick someone up then go home then i clean the kitchen

Hhhh

[vale meadow]

I jus been drawing some very unholy art for the past like 20min

[green horizon]

Oop

Whose birthday is it

[vale meadow]

Yours………

Wait,

And my ipad is on on percent again

And I think someone took my charger

https://tenor.com/view/adeus-volte-sempre-gif-13566867734332124302

[green horizon]

My birthday is September 2👍

[vale meadow]

I just got my charger back, then it took like three min to charge up my ipad enough enough to turn it bac on

Then I see this

Who told me ur birthday was June 15th then

I even put it in my calendar

My ipad was dead for so long I even thought of drawing outside for awhile

What a nightmare

[green horizon]

I hve no idea man

[vale meadow]

Must have been the universe playin tricks on me again

https://tenor.com/view/saber-angry-annoyed-eye-twitch-anime-gif-16749945

[vale meadow]

My head has been killing me all day

I tried to sleep it off but i still feel it right now

I think I went to sleep around 7 30 or sum

Since it was a bit after writing all this

Its time to use my failsafe

https://tenor.com/view/lycoris-recoil-lycoris-recoil-lycoris-recoil-yuri-chisato-lycoris-gif-26227445

[green horizon]

Damn man those all day headaches suck

Especially when you sleep n they’re still there

[vale meadow]

Getting back in the groove of skeleton drawing was surprisingly easy

I drew in total, like three pelvis-es, and now I feel like its as simple as breathing

Im probably even better than I was before

Its like my old knowledge stacked on top of my new knowledge

[green horizon]

That’s how it should be

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/lTdhBEMHoQQ?si=hfZA9SB5Gwy_qMtL

This shi is why i love batmqn

https://youtube.com/shorts/Eb_S57XG4zY?si=kP_GUliJ7rmu0v81

This is why Imlove batman

[vale meadow]

Its always a surprise when I see sum I had read the manga or novel of get an anime

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/w7dayTZ2XdY?si=pKDpKkRLrE_f5HtY

I thought the first batman short I showed was my favorite for today, but dam, this one got me

[green horizon]

@vale meadow you down to draw in magma today? I feel like drawin some vampires

Dripped out vampires

[vale meadow]

Ayy

I was knocked out, and I was prob ganna be for at leadt another hour if my mom didn’t come home and make sum giant ah sandwiches

I forgot their technical term

But yea, wud be down for magma

[vale meadow]

Jus ping me again if ur ganna hop in, im more liketo reply faster seeing as im conscious now

[green horizon]

I’ll be back once i wash the dishes. There were only like 5 in there so hopefully that hasn’t changed

[vale meadow]

I take forever to wash dishes, cuz I was everything one by one, and go around it twice, sometimes three times

Not because I have like OCD or sum, its more jus me chillin

[green horizon]

@vale meadow

Done

[vale meadow]

Nice

https://magma.com/d/bSBDdlpUrC

Here is link

[green horizon]

Beat me to it

[vale meadow]

Prob have to hop to new page tho

[green horizon]

Yeah

[vale meadow]

Dont think u saw my last message,

But that cowgirl was lit

[green horizon]

Thanks👍

[vale meadow]

Quite the addition if I do say so myself

[green horizon]

Excellent

Puts mine to shame

[vale meadow]

I have been playing brawlhalla for around eight years now, and all I can say is, I don’t think I’m cut out for it now, I definitely could have went pro a few years ago, but I gave up that chance

Now it seems like I’m being left behind, im still better than most players, but I’m nowhere near peak anymore

To watch yourself slowly fall into oblivion is a……interesting process

If I could go back to eight years ago with my current skill, no even my peak skill, I could most likely dominate even most low level pro players at that point

[vale meadow]

Ima be leavin my room today

Going to chill there and get some drawing done

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/7z131rqivk

If you’re down rn

[vale meadow]

….

Did discord just obliterate my message?

[vale meadow]

….anyway

Yea, ill hop on in a bit

Like five min

[vale meadow]

Ooooh, I c, I replied in general and not here

[vale meadow]

I hopped in and couldn’t find u, so ill be chillin on my private board till u come back

[green horizon]

Ah my bad. I don’t even remember why i hopped off so quickly

But i made food n went to the store so I’m in good condition

[vale meadow]

Im not in good condition rn

[vale meadow]

Currently in a place with no beds, and I have only done digital so far while laying down

Ill ping u once I get home tho

Should be in a few hrs

[green horizon]

🫡

May you survive

[vale meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/dazai-bsd-dazai-osamu-osamu-dazai-bsd-dazai-gif-4279911075950281118

[vale meadow]

I just got home

Just finished my shower

My sister was getting her hair done, so it took a nit longer than I expected

Bet you didn’t know I had a sister

[vale meadow]

But if u still wanna hop in magma, I can stop playing this addicting mobile game and hop on as well

[green horizon]

I was gonna just lie here doin nothing

But f it lets draw

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/7z131rqivk

[vale meadow]

It seems I passed out right after I said that

[green horizon]

I’m abt to draw in magma if you’re down

Same link ofc

[vale meadow]

Tyea

Im already eatin rn 2

[green horizon]

👍

[vale meadow]

Im deleting discord, probably for a few months

I wanna see how much you improve after I am back

[vale meadow]

Seriously though, there is a lot of stuff going on with my life rn, and I need some time to get it straight

https://tenor.com/view/toilet-bound-hanako-kun-tsukasa-yugi-disappear-smile-anime-gif-16583534

[green horizon]

Oh ok. Hope everything is well. Or if it isn’t, that it will be soon🫡 I’ll make sure to improve a ton in your stead

[vale meadow]

Was literally doing stuff day and night for a few days

Went way faster then I expected

Maybe because of luck tbh tho

[vale meadow]

Although u have probably seen me loath abt brawlhalla a ton, I am indeed getting back into it

And it is indeed a lot of fun

[green horizon]

brushing the rust off

[vale meadow]

My first traditional thing after a long long while

I was following a ref closely for this one, but the style was a bit different

Ima try to blend up the shading and call it done

[green horizon]

Oo the hair is really well done

Interested in seeing how it turns out man

[vale meadow]

The hair was probably the thing farthest from my ref

Im 99.99 percent sure my ref is a digital drawing tho

So I couldn’t get too close anyway

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

Didnt wanna be too loud so I did it quick

I still see some things I could change a bit to make it look better, but I think this is a good place to finish

And yea, the head is not shaded, and the hands r not drawn in

[vale meadow]

We can also hop in magma if ur down after I get out the shower

[green horizon]

I’m tired tonight, but I’m down after I get some rest

[green horizon]

@vale meadow ay you up for magma in half an hour? Might be drawing some slightly nsfw stuff🤔 so I’m not putting a link in general

[vale meadow]

Yea

[vale meadow]

I dont think I have seen u ever draw even a little spicy stuff

So it should be interesting

[green horizon]

We’ll see

[green horizon]

https://magma.com/d/6la354ygej

[vale meadow]

Im joining

[keen compass]

hi im a bit confused, ia this channel /thread for art prompts or are those not done anymore?

[vale meadow]

Oh,

No, these arent used anymore, this one is my personal thing basically

Me and rc jus talk here

[keen compass]

ahh i see! okayy ty

[vale meadow]

Np

[vale meadow]

Just spent hours cleaning the kitchen cuz my sister asked

Bet u didn’t know I had a sister

But anyway, I usually do anything my family asks, within reasonable ranges, cuz I am a family man

I think thats how that term is used

Anyway again, now ima go try and find a magma tutorial

Or a basic digital art tutorial or sum

Cuz I wanna make my Art fight character, maybe ill do the sketches traditionally, then put it into digital

[green horizon]

Oo yeah that’d be fun. Once you have the basic digital art functions down, they mostly carry over from program to program

So they’re a good thing to learn👍

[vale meadow]

https://youtube.com/shorts/OhBwG9WUrqw?si=jRhZb5v1lb40tVmL

Today im going on my occasional youtube short hunt

And I dont think anything will top this for today

[green horizon]

💀

I love that all the furries agreed to do that

[vale meadow]

Same

Let me actually get to that tutorial tho,

And if u hab any reccs, drop them here

Cuz I have no idea where to start

[green horizon]

How’s it goin? I wouldn’t have any reccs since I just poked around a lot to learn what stuff did. Or watched speedpaints and noticed patterns

[vale meadow]

I uhh……if I said I was still watching youtube shorts, would you believe me?

[green horizon]

Real

[vale meadow]

Ill get to it eventually today

I dont watch youtube for too long, most of the time

[green horizon]

Aight. Imma hop on magma for a bit haha

Same one as yesterday

[vale meadow]

Ill hop on later

Once I finish my digital art initiation

[vale meadow]

Alr, after watching digital art cideos for a bit,

I still understand nothing

All zi got was pick a brush in which I forgot the name of, blend that color, then color pick that etc

All of which these directions I either dont understand or will probably forget

So ima jus have to test it out myself

[green horizon]

Yup. Lemme give you a short list of things that cover 85-90% of what most digital artists use, regardless of style or process

Explanation not necessary:
-brushes
-erasers
-undo/redo

Now other stuff:
~lasso (used to select areas)
~transform (mostly used to move or change the size of a drawing
~eyedropper (used to pick up a color that is already on the canvas
~canvas flip (helps point out flaws in the drawing by giving you a different view of it)

Off the top of my head^

[vale meadow]

I use all this stuff, mostly

Except for canvas flip

Idk wer thats at

[green horizon]

In magma it’s the two arrows facing opposite directions at the top of the interface

[vale meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/who-would-have-thought-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-i-didnt-see-it-coming-who-would-have-seen-that-coming-gif-22234514

[green horizon]

But if you already use that stuff for the most part, it’s probably just a matter of makin it second nature

Unless you had sumn else in mind that you can’t find

[vale meadow]

Ill prob hop in magma rn, I wanted to sketch my artfight char on paper, then hop in magma, but ill do the reverse, also going to do some fold practice

[vale meadow]

Shading

I just dont know how to do it

[green horizon]

Oh. Well

[vale meadow]

https://magma.com/d/6la354ygej

Ill use the same link, maybe hop on a diff page tho

[green horizon]

Aight

[vale meadow]

She is from pikc me up, the manwha I to,d u abt awhile ago

[green horizon]

Oh🧐

Interesting design

[vale meadow]

Tried using the lasso, then bucket tool, since I though it would make everything the same shade

I guess all the previous times I used the bucket tool still didn’t teach me my lesson

As soon as I tapped, it kicked me out of magma, loaded back in and saw this

While I cant go back now, at least im left with sumin that looks cool

[vale meadow]

Just woke up, feeling pretty good, ganna take a crack at drawing my art fight character now

Before other shi distract me

[green horizon]

Oo lemme know how it goes

[vale meadow]

Watching rising impact, a Netflix original, randomly noticed the girls ears are huge asf

But they look nice

Took my like a whole episode and a half to notice

Also, its funny how many ball jokes there are, cuz its an anime about golfing

Making progress on my oc, but nothing showable yet

[green horizon]

👍👍👍

[vale meadow]

There is this big ah building my family basically owns, but doesn’t own,

I go there sometimes to get some serious art done, the thing is tho,

It also has a gym, and for the like five or six hours I was there,

I was probably in the gym for around four hours, resting for another, and being idle for the last hour

So basically p, even though I went there for the sole purpose of doing art, no art got done

But ima do it now

[green horizon]

Wait thas cool asf

But a layer of fog lore-wise

[vale meadow]

I did some of my best drawings there, this one included

Cuz I can basically focus really good there

I also have a somewhat actual art setup there

That maybe factors into it as well

[vale meadow]

U got any progress on ur oc?

I think u said u wer doin sum like that

[green horizon]

Nah I haven’t been drawing like i should lately

I collected some art fight characters though

[vale meadow]

Your finally with me now

[green horizon]

I might do long magma sessions where i draw other people’s characters for art fight

So it stays fun instead of feeling like a task

[vale meadow]

Hmm, I might finish my char up rn then

[vale meadow]

This took me anout an hour give or take, mostly just creating the backstory

Go or pass?

[green horizon]

Go👍 really cute face

And hair

[vale meadow]

Exactly what I wanted to make people think

Im going for the cute but physco cliche

[green horizon]

Oo i see

[vale meadow]

Lets flesh out his clothes now

Customize it, put some rims on it

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/yagi-toshinori-all-might-my-gif-23944706

[vale meadow]

You still in magma?

Im currently tryna figure out how to add a glow effect with color pencils, but thats ganna be difficult, ill probably have a way easier time in digital

[green horizon]

Yeah

Working on my persona thing. I finally was able to draw a decent mannequin hahaha

[vale meadow]

I just got a rlly good tip on light from a vid I jus watched

Though it was prob obvious, I jus dont really study light and stuff

[green horizon]

You’ll probably be working on something involving lighting later down the line and suddenly remember the tip

Always happens to me as i improve. Stuff i learned way too early finally having use

@vale meadow

[vale meadow]

I c

[vale meadow]

For some reason, magma is not loading up for me anymore

But I got this far,

Still dosent have his weapon yet, but this is his executioner form

And he has one more form, big creepy monster form

[green horizon]

Oo ok👁️👁️

Putting that selection tool to use too

[vale meadow]

Tell me wen u hop back in

Then ill see if it loads up again

[green horizon]

Oh I’m on rn

[vale meadow]

Alr,

[vale meadow]

https://artfight.net/~GodKingHuruu

[green horizon]

Followed

[vale meadow]

Ima see wut u got

[green horizon]

Lawrence

That’s all

[vale meadow]

I saw him, planning in my head later on how to attack u

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

My arm

I feel like I maybe strained something

Its hurts a lot when I try to move it, I jus been laying in bed for hours

And seeing if it gets better

That gym shi caught up to me

Its kinda hard to type, but I can still manage that, but no drawing for me for now, lets see about tomorrow

[vale meadow]

My arm hurts a lot less

Still hurts, but I can do some drawing now

For today im planning to do some more clothing studies, then go on to do some art fight attacks

[green horizon]

Glad it recovered a bit

[vale meadow]

I actually stopped drawing like 5min in

I was like a robot learning how to draw a circle from an image of a 3 year old

[vale meadow]

The soreness has died down a lot, I can almost fully extend my arms now with minial difficulty

Should be fully healed by tomorrow

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

Ima attempt to do some drawing today tho

I think I can handle it this time

[green horizon]

Lmk how it goes🫡 I’m about to start drawing rn

[vale meadow]

On magma or traditional?

I think it would actually be way easier for me to draw on magma rn since I use my finger

[green horizon]

I’ll do magma, but you’ll have to make the board since i ran out of storage

Preferably adda new drawing to the set we were already working on

[vale meadow]

U do be drawing a lot

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

“Tower of God season 2 sneak peek”

looks at the video length

53 : 48

I wonder how long the actual anime is ganna be then

[vale meadow]

I had a dream, my art teacher gave everyone these little board things, around the size of my sketchbook paper, then she told me to draw a scene on it, I asked her how I was supposed to get all the details on the little drawing space, then I put in a mf horizon line, I haven’t done that since I first started learning perspective

Then the random shi started happening,

Ill skip the rest of the drawing story since I really dont know how to convey it in words, but

I also had another dream, not that I woke up and slept again, it was kinda just the second half of the first dream,

Or it may not have been a dream, but

I heard my brother talking about buying the baby a suit for 15 bucks

Although it sounds unbelievable, which is why I think it was a dream, it also has a .1% chance of actually being true

But, that wasn’t the point,

Ima start drawing after right after I wake up again,

That was probably my most consistent when I was doing that

[green horizon]

Ah those ‘so mundane they could be real but probably aren’t’ dreams But yeah that last part sounds like a good idea. Startin the day off with productivity could set a better tone for the rest of the day

[vale meadow]

Instead of doing my art fights like I was supposed to,

I was playing this game on roblox, which I only get on once in a red moon,

Called draw something

Avoiding the fact that all the kids on there kept picking silly drawings for top three instead of my actual drawings,

It was quite a nice experience, I was on three minute mode, and I did like five or six animal prompts in a row, idk if it only has animals or not, but that was definitely out of my comfort zone

And for three min, I didn’t have enough time to brood over it, but I came out with some pretty good stuff, or at least, for what three min could allow

Im still kinda annoyed about the fact that scribbles with a heart on it got number one while I was last place but actually followed the prompt, thats probably why I quit

[green horizon]

I don’t expect fair play on Roblox Friends or simply favoring irony i bet

But I’ve never played that game. Maybe it’d be fun

[vale meadow]

Then they kept saying stuff like, fire drawing, and so cool

And the guy was like, thanks, thanks

It didn’t make me mad, but it made me feel an emotion I can’t quite explain

After my workout, ima prob get to attacking you tonight, or maybe ill do it tonight and upload it tmmrw, cuz taking pics in the dark just look worse

[green horizon]

🫡 I’ll have to attack you too then. And yeah definitely take the picture during that day lmao

[vale meadow]

My power may go out, but

Im finishing up the artfights now, Im doing yours plus another two I found interesting

[green horizon]

Are you in the area with a hurricane rn?

[vale meadow]

Not exactly, or rather I don’t think so, but I will probably be affected by it

I don’t actually know the area of it

[green horizon]

Ah ok. My city is near it, but it usually doesn’t get super affected beside some flooding

[vale meadow]

I was abt to ask what was flossing

[vale meadow]

You got any good music u can recommend p?

I listen to basically anything

[green horizon]

If you like stuff without lyrics, I recommend Ichika Nito. I have trouble recommending stuff because I don’t switch up a lot. I’ve been listening to tefutefu by plastic tree a lot lately

[vale meadow]

Ganna go look it up now

[green horizon]

It’s calming

[vale meadow]

I fcks with it

[green horizon]

Lmao that was fast

But

[vale meadow]

I can see myself listening to “Etherreal feel” or whatever it is a lot

Alr, ima hop back into drawing with thismplaying

[green horizon]

👍 definitely show whatever you end up with

[vale meadow]

This actually turned into trash like halfway through

It only got worse as I put the clothes on

Then some tired shading to top it off

Ima go and try again tho

[green horizon]

this attempt aint toooo bad though

[vale meadow]

Seems like my attack is ganna take a few more days

It seems like 30% of why my drawings are az is because I haven’t act been drawing like at all

So ima do 100 figure drawings today

[green horizon]

Well that’s quite the conclusion to jump to, but I’m curious to see if you’ll actually do all 100

[vale meadow]

Lol, I may not stick to 100 days sometimes, but for stuff I can do in one day,

I will do in one day

[green horizon]

I’d wanna see the first one vs the 100th one if you end up wanting to show

I wonder if stuff like that results in a lot of progress immediately

[vale meadow]

Maybe it would be me just learning how to apply what I already know more effectively and stuff

So like, polishing, and not exactly learning new stuff

If u get what I mean

[green horizon]

Yeah i do

[vale meadow]

I also wont time for today,

Ill make all 100 to the point I think they are decent

It might take a long while, but I got the time

[green horizon]

slow n steady wins the race n whatnot. I’ll do 10-20 figures or sumn since I’ve been slacking on my drawing lately

After i do dishes. Will show👋

[vale meadow]

I feel like im finally getting a bit of that jeff watts energy

Ill let you guess what number this is

I cant tell if this looks better of worse, but I did some very quick blending

There is some stuff I dont like abt it, but I do find it to be decent, so on to the next

[vale meadow]

@green horizon

https://tenor.com/view/wait-hold-on-hear-me-out-colin-jost-saturday-night-live-listen-to-me-gif-23903222

I know I said I could do 100 today, but, this is number 4

And my ipad already went dead twice

So I propose we extend the time to tomorrow

So I can actually have the daylight for assistance

Though, its not at all impossible for me to do 100 now

[green horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/edgeworth-gif-18519497

Can’t be helped

[vale meadow]

With those four though, I do feel like I have regained some long lost skills

[vale meadow]

This was the first one btw

I could not figure out what was going wrong, so I just dropped it

Now that I look at it again, a lot was going wrong

[green horizon]

[vale meadow]

Think its about time to get started on paying my debt

I was gsnna start way earlier, but I got too absorbed reading

[green horizon]

I can give a 50% discount, seeing as I did not do my figures either

I did 3 this morning and hated every second of those 24 minutes

[vale meadow]

That would be very helpful

[green horizon]

Consider it done

[vale meadow]

This now seems not so hard

[green horizon]

👍

[vale meadow]

So lets see, 96/2 is 48

Or somewhere around there

If I multiply that by 5, thats 220

Wait

No

[green horizon]

Why- why are we multiplying

[vale meadow]

620

[vale meadow]

Im calculating how many hours it would be if I did five min for everyone

[green horizon]

Oh i see

[vale meadow]

620/60 then divided by 60 again, lets go get the calculator cuz my brain does not wanna do this one

So my math was wrong,

Anyway thats four hours

I was thinking of sprinkling in a few 10min, but

I think five min is good enough

[green horizon]

Yeah haha

[vale meadow]

You have any artists you think draw bodies really good?

[green horizon]

Mm most of the ones i enjoy tend to exaggerate a lot or draw very muscular figures. Carbon Fiber, Kinu Nishimura, Mieoi

I don’t think they’re your speed

[vale meadow]

Ganna check them out

[green horizon]

Check out Kinu Nishimura first👍

[vale meadow]

Lol

[green horizon]

Highest chance of liking her work

[vale meadow]

I just noticed the guys name is carbon fiber

[green horizon]

https://www.instagram.com/carbonn__fiber?igsh=MXJwa2xvbjRtbjUzOA==

Had to send a link. I think I’ve shown you her work before. She only really draws muscular body types, but she has great anatomy

[vale meadow]

All I thought when I saw this was

“What the fuuuu is this”

[green horizon]

😭

[vale meadow]

This when I looked closer, it actually started looking good

Definitely dont wanna pick up whatever sauce they have tho

[green horizon]

Fair enough

[vale meadow]

Hmm, I think I can take some of what they are cooking

The other ones, I like them, but I don’t wanna study from them

[green horizon]

Understandable. Carbon primarily studies from medical books

[vale meadow]

This improves my impression of them by +10

https://tenor.com/view/its-time-to-get-to-work-work-its-time-anime-meta-runner-gif-17958659

[vale meadow]

Around twenty minutes in

The first one I kinda panicked and didn’t get anything done

For the others, they just look really ugly

Deciphering Jeff Watts sketches actually take a bit of time,

So I might just increase the time to 10min

This is also the reason I usually don’t time myself, I feel like I lose more than I gain if the time is too short

[green horizon]

Yeah there’s time in there that needs to be spent observing the ref and cleaning it up after you get the basic info down

I find even 5 mins too be too little for that

[vale meadow]

It would be fine if it was one of those simple shape anatomy things I see on Pinterest

But jeff watts has so much going on in his sketches

[green horizon]

I wonder how much time he takes

[vale meadow]

Not long at all

[green horizon]

And how many years it took to whittle it down to whatever that number is

[vale meadow]

Many many

[green horizon]

Ahaha. All these artists reminding me that my 4 yrs mean nothing at all

Or 3.5 ig

[vale meadow]

Thats another funny thing, I was watching mikeymegamega tutorials one time and was like

This mf been drawing for ten years before I started watching him

[green horizon]

Like damn

[vale meadow]

Instead of drawing 40 something more figures, I propose an offer

I instead convert that into time

Four hours

[green horizon]

How about 4 one hour figures

[vale meadow]

8 thirty minutes

I don’t think I could do a one hour figure because they are just naked

Or maybe,

Ill do 2 one hour, and 4 thirty min

[green horizon]

Sounds good

I’m gonna start on my anatomy sketchbook in the meantime

Starting with the dreaded skull

[vale meadow]

@vale meadow one hour check-in

[vale meadow]
